At the museum at Masson Mills in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. Photos and 3 video clips of the sections "Weaving Shed and Dispatch" and "Spinning and Carding". We were shown a demonstration around 12pm of the 31st August 2014. The guide knew a lot about the machines and the history. Three of them he turned on (see the clips). The mill was one of Sir Richard Arkwright's mills in the Derwent Valley (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001).
